orkybash Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 Mega Man 2 'Wily Meets Flash Man' One nice thing about a non-techno artist doing techno is that you can get some good variations on the genre that you normally wouldn't get. While NoppZ's song may not be a complete revolution in the techno genre, it does offer a fresh sound that isn't heard much around here (although it did kind of remind me of djp's style). Nice variation, both within the remix and within the genre, as I've already mentioned. Recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solarus Posted June 29, 2002 Share Posted June 29, 2002 NoppZ shows the rest how a Megaman remix should be. Wily's theme and Flashman's fits eachother really well. Recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlwaysAlone Posted August 23, 2002 Share Posted August 23, 2002 I dub thee "Headbang-able" That is exactly what I would do, if it didn't hurt my neck and give me a headache. Great beat, great sound, absolutely perfect. ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougzee Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 I love the way Flashmans music was incorporated into the wily stage theme, a wonderful blend...kinda like some expensive venezuelan coffee or something that i've never tried. There needs to be a few more mixes like this, the switch-em-up style. Even if not for the same game (MM2), it would be nice to see the style repeated in some other form. Anyways enough of my stupid rambling. A good song to download if you like either theme...which you should..because if you dont like Megaman music you should be shot. In the head. And killed. Jerk. -Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domukaz Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 This is really, really, good. Possibly one of the few things here one could actually dance to, due to two factors: 1. It KEEPS a steady, fast beat throughout, which makes it easier to dance to. 2. The tune is catchy! Hard to dance to something that you won't remember, in my experience. The composition is excellent, but more so in the case of Wily's theme. It sounds a heck of a lot better than the Flashman bits in this Mix (Though that's saying something, as Flashman is still very good). I love how Wily's theme is layed into the background of the Flashman theme. Listening to this on endles loop is fun.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playingtokrush Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 Wow. I haven't listened to this for quite a while, since before the hard drive incident... I had almost forgotten how much this song kicks my ass. Then again, it's not like NoppZ's music hasn't beat the shit out of me before. The transitioning between the themes in this song is just done so amazingly well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deryck Khusial Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 what’s cool about this is that from the intro you can imagine the lead in the distance coming in louder and stronger, when BOOM, there it is center-fold. from there, it just keeps building, breaking down, and layering up. 2:44 gives me a high with each listen when the new synth joins the lead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the warlock Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 This is 4'11'' of pure quality. I dig everything the transitions from Wily's theme to Flash Man's has been pulled off superbly to carry this techno track flowing smoothly. Excellent arrangement and comp, this is a class act of how to mix duel themes to create something special. I love hittin' the volume up a few thousand notches when i listen to this!

Dr. Wily Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Wow.. I was blown away by this! If only they'd play this sort of stuff at nightclubs more often, hehe. The Wily theme was my favourite from MM2 and it's a vibrant, commendable reproduction. The flashman part has exceptional energy to it and the two themes meld extremely well together. This mix is definitely in my top few on OC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobleheart Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 This is a great remix that I had in my music collection for quite a while. NoppZ is a great remixer with other faves like Kefka Goes West. This is a remix that deserves to be honored and treasured for the good work done and the joy it brings to those that played Mega Man 2 and remember the original beats. NoppZ, I tip my hat off to you.

Kye-U Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 The intro just glued in my ears to listen this piece. Rising techno beats and cool bass...all I can ask for NoppZ rocks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackPhantom Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 Of all the remixes done on this song, this remix is indeed my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonsoul Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I created a music video for this song! It rules! Whoever wants it contact me on aim; dragonblades2000 yahoo; dragonrunner2001 Have fun, Mike ! The song rules!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bummer Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 This is the first remix I downloaded, good to know that I for once made a good decision. I really like the walkover to flashman at 3:30, that was smooth. This remix is packed with techno, but it doesn´t sound overdone, it just kicks.

djuniah Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 This is by far, my favorite remix on this site (Thats not to say that there arent any strong contenders, but i have a soft spot for the songs that stay close to the tech type sounds of the originals) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeNukem007 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I've listened to this song many times over the last 4 years, and it's still amazing. BTW, One has to wonder if any single one of the composers who worked on the soundtrack have visited us and laughed / cried / dropped their jaw in amazement that their NES chip tunage from days of yore had inspired this much homage. I guess we'll never know (unless like "Yuukichan's Papa" emailed us with proof of identity and some kind words of encouragement, but I'm not holding my breath ^^ Wikipedia has since answered the proof of "Yuukichan's Papa's" identity question, LOL...

OceansAndrew Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Some nice original counterpoint ideas in this one, and despite that initial transition being pretty weaksauce, the rest of the track shifts very smoothly. The beats are pretty straightforward and repetitive, but synthwise enough is going on for the track to keep plenty of forward momentum. It's two great source songs in one! How can you go wrong?

Flare4War Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Unbelievable to me that I have never commented on this track since it is one of my all time favorite remixes and amongst my top 5 Megaman tracks. It starts out good and only gets better. A very techno esque arrangment. It dies down around 1:02 but comes right back for more. If you were/are a MegaMan fan this one is definitely going to set your mind nostalgic. A true classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liontamer Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 The countermelodic synth added in at :08 is such a subtle introduction, but boy does that writing fit like a glove there; nice touch for the intro. This was a melodically conservative arrangement, but Philip personalized the arrangement well via the instrumentation choices and some occasional sections of original writing.
